Secure Login for Atlassian Tools

In addition to the username and password, a registered mobile device will be used each login time to generate a PIN code valid for half a minute.

The default login for Atlassian tools is based on username and password: this is not a strong authentication as both values can be easily passed/copied to other persons using them in parallel to the owner. A secure login depends on multiple aspects and combine e.g. knowledge with physical gadgets, which cannot be duplicated that easily. If the gadget will be stolen, it is useless without the knowledge aspect. One sample of such a secure login is a 2-factor authentication using user name/password and a mobile device as additional key code generator resp. authenticator.
